Background: While COVID-19 vaccination has been shown to reduce the risk of severe illness, its impact on the occurrence of persistent symptoms in patients with mild Omicron infection remains uncertain. Our objective was to investigate whether COVID-19 vaccination reduces the occurrence of persistent COVID-19-related symptoms 3 months after mild Omicron infection.

Methods: Multicenter prospective cohort study was conducted in Brazil between January 2022 and June 2023 when Omicron was predominant.

Dengue is a viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes that has spread rapidly across all continents in recent years. There are four distinct but closely related serotypes of the virus that causes dengue (DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4). In the present study, we evaluated temporal spreading and molecular evolution of dengue virus (DENV) serotypes.

Article Synopsis
  • Niobium (V) oxide nanoparticles (NINPs) are increasingly used in health and industrial applications, prompting a closer examination of their potential toxicity.
  • The study found that both crystalline and amorphous NINPs can induce DNA damage and chromosome instability in cultured CHO-K1 cells, particularly at higher concentrations.
  • Results indicated significant cytotoxic effects and increased micronucleus frequencies, highlighting the need for safety guidelines regarding NINPs in various applications.
